Beauty World Bus Interchange is an upcoming Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) located at Beauty World. It is located at the junction of Jalan Jurong Kechil and Upper Bukit Timah Road. Rail connections are offered via Beauty World MRT Station along the Downtown Line.
Plans for the interchange were first mooted as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA)’s 2019 Draft Masterplan. A tender for the design and construction of the mixed-use development was called in June 2020, with an aim to spur the rejuvenation of Beauty World and inject vibrancy into the area.
The interchange will be housed within the mixed-use development which also consists of the Bukit V mall & The Reserve Residences.

The Interchange:
Beauty World Integrated Transport Hub is a bus interchange located in the Beauty World commercial and residential area. Connecting with Beauty World MRT Station along the Downtown MRT Line, the interchange is envisioned as a transport node for residents of Beauty World, allowing for convenient transfers between the bus and rail network.
The mixed-use development site is bordered by Jalan Jurong Kechil to the west; Jalan Anak Bukit to the north; Pan-Island Expressway (PIE, Anak Bukit Flyover) to the east; and Upper Bukit Timah Road to the south.
Nearby developments include Beauty World Plaza, Beauty World Centre, Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, Bukit Timah Plaza, Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre, Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School, HDB Toh Yi Estate, shophouses along Cheong Chin Nam Road, and Rifle Range Nature Park. Future nearby developments include the Rail Corridor, Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor, The Linq @ Beauty World, a future Bukit Timah Community Building (integrated Community Club, market & hawker centre), and more developments to be announced.
According to tender documents, the interchange will be located at upper ground level. The gross floor area (GFA) of the bus interchange must be more than 5,000 square metres, inclusive of at least 400 square metres for passenger concourse passageways and retail space.
Developers for the land redevelopment would enter a Design & Build Agreement with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) for the design and construction of the bus interchange. The LTA would reimburse all costs relating to bus interchange design and construction.
A notional interchange layout supplied with the tender indicates 2 alighting berths and 4 boarding berths; however none of these plans are confirmed, and tenderers are encouraged to propose alternative layouts based on a holistic consideration of the overall design of the proposed development.
Vehicular access points to the interchange will be provided by two Left-In Left-Out junctions at Jalan Jurong Kechil and Upper Bukit Timah Road (southbound).
Connections
The integrated development will feature an underground pedestrian link connecting to Beauty World MRT Station near Exit C, and an overhead pedestrian bridge over Upper Bukit Timah Road, connecting to Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre.

Back to Bus Interchanges and Terminals
Bus 41, 66, 170, 171, 961/M and 970 can come here with the following routes:
41: BWITH ↺ Jurong Gateway Rd
66: BWITH ↔ Jurong East Int
170: BWITH ↔ JB Sentral Ter
171: BWITH ↔ Yishun Int
961/M: BWITH ↔ Lor 1 Geylang
970: BWITH ↔ Shenton Way Ter
I was thinking if 91,92,111 & 191 all can extend here in future.Leaving only long haul Buona Vista service.
970 can be shortened to Beauty World ITH in which the lost sector can be covered by 184 between Bukit Panjang and Beauty World. 184A can be introduced beween Bukit Panjang and Beauty World MRT during morning peak hour to supplement the crowd…
Actually, now that the Cross Island Line will be built soon, it will pass through King Albert Park, Ulu Pandan and Clementi, so surely students from Ngee ann poly will take MRT instead of bus?
170 is one of the candidates..Beauty World-Larkin Terminal while a new service will go Queen St.170M will be BW-JB sentral
